About Us

Mission Statement 

Kainos’ mission is to enable adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities to maximize his/her potential while becoming active, contributing integrated members of the community.

Purpose and Vision

Kainos Home & Training Center was founded in 1974 to serve adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  Kainos is a Greek word meaning a new beginning.  Presently, we serve over 150 adults ages 18 and above, who live in Southern San Mateo and Northern Santa Clara Counties. Kainos is located in Redwood City. Kainos Home and Training Center offers holistic services from Residential Services to Day Programs to Supported Living Skills Services.

Our programs and services have been specifically developed to teach self-sufficiency and independence. Kainos prides itself on our focus on the individual consumer and Person Centered Planning, developing individualized goals for our consumers instead of molding our consumers to fit subjective goals set forth for the needs of the program.
